  1. Crucnh is high in Sugar but tastes nice, also a worry is apart from the GM stuff, Soy might be great but the process involves a lot of chemicals in general.....But still like the stuff, gonna throw the Chocalte into my recovery drink next time.
  2. When Grant and Tim was still there it was a good store. They also dropped my bike and my Revelation shock got scratched which they refuted. Got Fritz involved and he resolved it and asked me to chat to the manager, he was not oerjoyed so left it. Still go there if my bikeis filthy -they have the best bike washer and Mike has a wicked sense of humor-just go there for him and they are cheap for a wash and Lube
  3. Fortunately I dont suffer from this.But there are a couple of my friends who get this from swimming in open water etc. But I use a colloidal silver spray for cleaning my nasal cavities after a swim in open water or MTB etc. good to keep crap out of your nasal and throat passages in general. I will check my stuff and the supplier and will pm u-otherwise Dischem has colloidal silver products as well. .
  4. Popped in this Morning to quickly check my measurements, thinking I can quickly borrow Aachtar's measuring stuff to confirm my inseam as I couldn't remember....Ashaad immediately helped me with a full measurement then popped it into a computer programme named bikefitting.com. with a printout of my measurements. I told him that they do not stock the brand I was looking for, nonetheless he continued and gave me the same service as if I was about to buy a bike from them. Now that is SERVICE! BTW for the Triathlete's amongst us they have the Profile Aerobtlles for R49.
  5. I guess it's what works for u but suggest the following: Work out your energy requirements per Hour as per Eldron Get stuff that answers that equation-I like Peptopro Sport-Perfect mix of Carbs and Proteins for races only as it is Pricey and tastes like crap. Which brings me to the next point-U need to fuel also so u are able to start the recovery process with what u have used in the last part of the ride. That being said on longer Tri's I end up mostly on Coke and Water the last hour -Wrong I know but works.
  6. He would not have received it yet..normally it is conditional on them being tested and then they are eligible
  7. Run is fine -off road means not on tar so a lot of running on the dirt road and walklways. The Bike there was nothing that I could remember that was too technical, just one crossing that all got off to hike their bikes. Easy course.
  8. mike at SBR did mine, very happy with it
  9. Guys, please tell me what u do with the Photos? I got a couple once for the Mrs to scrapbook with....seems the pets make better Scrapbook subjects. So now I don't waste my time. and If u cant remember it it's probably really not worth recording.
  10. Ah Yeah Cajess, my favourite store (NOT) ......wondered in there against my better judgement and saw the Assos stuff. I use the Sports Detergent, the stuff is the best and lasts forever, so I looked at the Price.....R175 for a bottle, where I get it for R125 any other place....You will have to seriously negotiate for them to drop R50 off. Gotta Luv the audacity though.
  11. U need to work at getting swimfit, meaning there will be some Hypoxic training. So u can start by swimming lengths with breathing every 2nd stroke then lengths breathing every 3rd stroke then every 4th till breathing every 5th stroke. Do it as a pyramid. Also think Swimsmooth will do wonders as you need to get comfortable in the water. Once you are comfortablethe proress will be easy.
  12. @JanMTB I have heard good things about Maxxis Ikon, where do u get them and would u run them front and back on a 29er? What about the 29er Crossmark?

  14. Kevin Garwood and his son Nicholas do the Tri's together, the bike I think he got from Germany het told me once, thing weighs 13kg EXCL his son.
  15. Would like to know the stats of DNF's, DQ etc.
  16. Tough Day, PE crowd was amazing. Saw a guy getting DQed about 1.5km from the finish for outside assistance when his friend (not competitor) ran with him-now that is heartbreaking. I am all for rules but the way the refs talk/shout at athlete's was the only negative.
  17. @Gummibear, I see u use Windfinder, the airports use it......pretty accurate.
  18. Not about the hippo nut rather income, they make more money from fishermen camping there. Fishermen do not like Swimmers, so we had to go. Why do they still have the open water swim races there. I am thinking they dont want us there.
  19. Also try Coral the guys who make the custom stuff and agree Terry will always help, my Xterra wetsuit is a great product. Find that it really creates neutral bouyancy and with the typical triathlete disease of lazy kicking it helps.
  20. How far apart are the waterpoints they say every 40km?
  21. I know u can ....and have u seen how cold it is lately in the morning, I am bringing my wetsuit just in case.
  22. Wetsuit legal I assume? Just wanna get into race mode for IMSA
  23. Also agree, Top and shorts because: 1. U might have a great pair of shorts that always works 2. Ur sizing might be different like a bigger torso and small waist, so u might wear M shorts but large top. 3. U can mix and match (for the style conscious) 4. Tri suits tends to stretch in front and show off your tackle.
  24. CWC All The WAY! Ordered some kit, got the size wrong, sent back to CWC, They said they would resend, asked what I should pay to have it resent and got a" Dont worry about it" reply....from Wayne. Now that is true service, after it was my mistake they sorted it out no fuss. Wwell Done CWC and Wayne!
